Otherside

Welcome to the other side
I live my life like it's my only night
Who you gon' run to in your darkest times?
Done running from it, I done made up my mind
I've made up my mind

Keep climbing, keep climbing
Keep climbing, keep climbing
I seen the other side of the mountain
Keep climbing, keep climbing

Yeah, Momma called me on the tele'
I knew she been crying, I moved to Atlanta
But listen, I knew I was ready
There ain't nothing that nobody can tell me
Foot on the pedal, my drive like a Chevy
Like an umbilical, staying connected
This for the Wick town, I'm spreading the message
Yeah, yeah, I ride with my dawgs, just like Dr. Doolittle
Just a younging, everybody ain't fool with him
Cut from the team, they ain't know what to do with him
Playing kickball, it's like they booting 'em
Had weight, it was over my chest
Real faith, I gotta invest
We in some dark times, it's a mess
Feeling like Pippen, keep the game pressed
I cannot change for nobody
I ain't here to entertain for the lobby
We doing way more than just rapping about it
They treating my brothers like they're not somebody
Put on for the people who've been locked up in that cage, yeah
I can't ever switch up on the One that changed my ways, yeah
This time really ain't a phase, yeah
Where you gon' turn in the rain? Yeah
Real peace is all of my veins, yeah, enough about me
I know the people just want to be free
I know the One who carry the key
We cannot be who they tell us to be
Never let down, we back on our feet

Welcome to the other side
I live my life like it's my only night
Who you gon' run to in your darkest times?
Done running from it, I done made up my mind
I've made up my mind

Keep climbing, keep climbing
Keep climbing, keep climbing
I seen the other side of the mountain
Keep climbing, keep climbing

Yeah, I heard 'bout Ahmaud, the weight on me
It's crazy to think in America freedom ain't promised
They sayin': "Just wait on it"
It's easy to say as a white man that it's all okay
Imagine you inside a system that never give love: what you gon' say?
How can we be so blind? This world crossing the line
This for my time to speak to the people that think it's okay to see a black folk die
What if your son died and they told you, "Momma, don't cry"?
Please do not fall for the lie, God, I see the other side
God, I want 'em all alive, God, I want 'em all alive

Welcome to the other side
I live my life like it's my only night
Who you gon' run to in your darkest times?
Done running from it, I done made up my mind
I've made up my mind

Keep climbing, keep climbing
Keep climbing, keep climbing
I seen the other side of the mountain
Keep climbing, keep climbing
